DEPARTMENT J - Floral
RULES AND REGULATIONS
- ALL SPECIMENS EXHIBITED MUST BE GROWN BY THE EXHIBITOR AND ENTERED IN THE NAME OF THE GROWER ONLY.
- Floral exhibits will be accepted at the Ruritan Building between 9:00 A.M. and 12:00 noon on Tuesday, but exhibitors must be in line no later than 11:30 A.M. Floral exhibits will be accepted at the Ruritan Building between 5:00 P.M. and 9:00 P.M. on Tuesday, but exhibitors must be in line no later than 8:30 P.M. Judging will take place Wednesday, at 10:00 A.M. The building will reopen at 2 P.M.
- All plant material, with the exception of dried and treated material, must be homegrown, unless otherwise specified. Plant material from a professional florist is not homegrown.
- Potted house plants should be in the exhibitor’s possession for at least 3 months before the show. Outdoor container plants are not potted house plants.
- Exhibitors are responsible for knowing the categories of the materials they wish to enter. The volunteers at the registration desk are not responsible for selecting the appropriate categories for the exhibitors. If an exhibit is entered in the wrong category, staff and judges are authorized to move it into the right one.
- Exhibitors may place only one entry in each class, except Miscellaneous, where up to three specimens will be accepted. If a class is listed, extra specimens of the same class cannot be entered in the Miscellaneous category.
- Containers for specimens will be provided by the Ruritan Club.

- Exhibits must be picked up on Sunday between 2 P.M. and 5 P.M. The Clarke County Fair cannot be responsible for exhibits or ribbons left after 5 P.M.
- The Clarke County Fair cannot be responsible for broken or lost articles.
NOTE: In order to insure that arrangements, herbs and specimens are at their peak and to assure fairness when judging, all plant materials should be conditioned. This means cutting the plant materials and hydrating them in sugar water or water with floral conditioner for 24 hours before making arrangements or entering herbs and specimens. This conditioning process will increase integrity and longevity of the arrangements, herbs and specimens.
JUNIOR DEPARTMENT
17 years and under
Exhibitors may place only one entry in each class, except Miscellaneous, where up to three entries will be accepted. If a class is listed, extra specimens of the same class cannot be entered in the Miscellaneous category. Flowers count more than foliage but some foliage should be included, if possible. One specimen is one stem, not a bunch, unless a class calls for a “spray.”
